Beautiful scenery and wonderful set up for Christmas!! You can buy smores as well as wine taste. Wine was ok just not my type of flavors. Recommend going and experiencing the winery. Staff was very nice!

Bathrooms are available ands are ADA.

Great winery! We were greeted by a very friendly staff member who gave us all their tasting options. They offer a full "guided" tasting inside their tasting room or flights that you can take into their outdoor seating area. For their flights (5 wines), you can pick a red, white, red/white, or their special reserve. The flights are $15 ($20 for their special wines) and they will give you credit towards buying a bottle.
Since we brought a picnic lunch, we opted for the flights so we could sit outside and enjoy the day. I'm generally more of a red person but I really enjoyed their whites, especially their 2021 Chardonnay.
It's not the biggest winery so I could imagine it getting a little packed on the weekends. Give them a visit, I think you'll enjoy it.

The new owner is simply sensational. Best tasting experience.. of. my. life. period.. and I used to work at a winery. If you want the whole winery experience make a visit.

I love this place! Deb in the tasting room is awesome and so outgoing. I've been a wine club member for years (this is the club membership that has outlasted all others). I love that most of their wines have a very distinct "Fenton Herriott" flavor that stands out. They do fun activities and social offerings where the owner cooks the food and everything. Wine club has flexibility. Definitely recommend checking it out. I love to bring friends out.

I brought my wife and daughter on a Sunday afternoon, it was a very idyllic and wonderful little vineyard! It was spacious and very accommodating with a wonderful atmosphere. The wine wasn't too expensive and the service was top notch!

Cannot recommend more highly. My family will certainly be back!

We had a lovely experience at Fenton Harriott winery today. The staff Grace and Shaylene were so pleasant and help. We enjoyed their wine and bought 2 bottles and played bocci on the most perfect day. Definitely recommend!

Every January Fenton Herriott holds an event called "Blending with the Wine Maker". We attended this year for the first time. They had 4 wines to sample from the barrel and then set you loose with your graduated cylinder and beaker to blend away. You have 3 chances and then submit your best blend for a blind taste test by the group. The prize for the best blend is 4 bottles of your choice. We may have had a better time than most because...we won. What an honor to have them bottle our blend for the "Friends Blend" available in the tasting room.
We'll be back next year to defend the title. Come on up and give it a try. The Staff... awesome, the wine... something for everyone well and worth the trip to Placerville.

The wine is excellent and they have a lovely outdoor area where you can bring your pets. The grounds are beautiful as well!

It’s a more laidback place and they have bocce ball you can play so this would be a great place to come hang on a Sunday/ Saturday afternoon.

We didn’t really get a presentation for our wine which is the reason for the lower star rating. I think it is because we brought a dog so we took the tastings outside, but it was disappointing that the woman didn’t come out and give us a presentation especially since we were the only people there.
